Oh dear, I always thought this game looked awesome but was bummed that it was going to be on the DS. If it's coming out on the PS3, I'm going to have to find a friend with a PS3. That is very good news. The animation in this game deserves better than the DS.

I don't have a DS, so I'm quite happy this will be coming to PS3. While White Knight Chronicles turned out to be a pretty big disappointment, I was a huge fan of Dark Cloud 1 & 2 back in the PS2 era. Looking forward to more info on this!

How are they going to do the spellcasting system on PS3? The way I figure it, they have three options:

1) Ditch the drawing element and go with a traditional menu system (lame).
2) Let you draw the symbols using the analog sticks (lamer).
3) Move support.

I am not, repeat not buying a Move for this game. While in theory I'd prefer to have the better graphics of the PS3 version, the spellcasting system is a pretty big draw for me too, so I need to know how they're going to handle that.

That's a good point about the Move. I already have a Playstation Eye, so I'm part of the way to having a Move, but I have no intention of getting one anytime soon. LBP2 is perhaps the only game I might get it for ... other than this. If this game comes to the PS3 and utilizes the Move in an effective way I have no problem (at this point) in buying a Move controller just for this game. That is how great my Ghibli love is.

I am not a JRPG fan, usually because of the stereotyped characters and bland or rehashed stories, but I am a Ghibli fan, and they rarely (if ever) throw their character designs into a corner, and their stories are always good. I would like to play this.
